WHEREAS, the present Code of Ordinances of the City of North Bay Village is inadequately arranged in regard to titles, topics, and subject matter, some sections being now insufficient in form and substance for the proper preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the City and for the proper conduct of its affairs, and,

WHEREAS, American Legal Publishing Company has completed the recodifying, renumbering, revising and rearranging of the general and permanent ordinances of the City in printed form pursuant to an agreement with said Company, and,

WHEREAS, the recodification has been on file with the office of the City Clerk and subject to public inspection, and,

WHEREAS, in the interest of certainty with respect to ordinance provisions and to comply with law, it is deemed necessary forthwith to publish such recodification, renumbering, revision and rearrangement of said ordinances in book form as the Code of Ordinances,

NOW THEREFORE, be it enacted by the City Commission of the City of North Bay Village, Florida:

b.

One copy of the Code of Ordinances, upon certification as to the correctness thereof in such book form by the Clerk of the City shall be kept in its initial form on file in the office of the Clerk and retained as a permanent ordinance record of the City.

Section 3. Effective Date. The Code of Ordinances, consisting of the various titles as hereinbefore and therein designated, and all provisions thereof, shall take effect and be in force, at, on and after 12:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Daylight Savings Time on April 1, 1983.

Section 4. Other Amendments and Supplements. The Code of Ordinances may be amended or supplemented at any time and, when any amendment or supplement is adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of this Commission to make the same a part thereof, such amendment or supplement shall be incorporated in, and deemed a part of, the Code of Ordinances so that any reference to the Code of Ordinances shall be understood and construed as including the Code of Ordinances, and any and all such amendments and supplements thereto.

Section 5. Form of Amendment or Supplement. All amendments and supplements enacted as part of the Code of Ordinances shall be integrated therewith by following the form of arrangement and plan hereby and therein adopted. Each title shall be subdivided into chapters, and each chapter shall be sub-divided into sections.

If in doubt as to such designation, the Clerk of the City shall be guided by the advice of the City Attorney.

In the interpretation of any provisions of the Code of Ordinances, or of any ordinance amending or supplementing the same, general terms, phrases, and expressions therein shall be liberally construed so as to carry out the intent and meaning of this ordinance, and shall have the meaning commonly ascribed thereto, unless a different meaning is required by the context or to give effect to such ordinance.

b.

The headings of sections contained in the Code of Ordinances shall be printed in all capital letters and are to be deemed to be in the nature of "catch works," and in case of conflict between such heading and the contents of any section, the contents of the section shall control, notwithstanding such headings.
